Seriously, more snow?

First off, this snow must stop! "Blizzard Like conditions today?" Not cool. I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago on campus after what I thought was the last big snow storm of the year- so wrong! I'm beyond ready for the aridity of the Middle East. I'd trade my human rights for warmth any day, kidding.
Good News: Dan "phased". Meaning now he has weekend pass privileges. So I booked a non-refundable flight and hotel in Tucson. I'm excited to go see him! As for the picture, I was trying to find a recent picture of us, which was understandably hard, when I came across this gem. Like any self respecting couple with an extensive black wardrobe, too light foundation, cornstarch and red dye, and fangs, we threw together this quality costume 30 minutes before our Ward Halloween party. Sadly, we won no awards.
This weekend I got to go see my friend Brandalee at her cute new house in Layton. Im posting this picture to commemorate that event, and also to encourage her to post things on her blog. Even if those things are just in retaliation for me posting this picture. 
Branda's dog Zoey. I usually hate little dogs, but how cool is this one. She cocks her head to the side like this whenever you say her name, "like what? What do you want?" Cool dog. And I didn't mean for all those pictures to be in black and white, forgot to change my camera settings. 

The Happenings of the week

My friend Kara opened her mission call. Tampa Florida, spanish speaking. GO KARA!


My dad and I ran (well, I jogged) the Spectrum 10k. It was a lot of fun (kind of). Dr. B beat me by a substantial amount of time. I entertain no thoughts of ever out running him in this life, or the next. Anna is absent from the sisterly photo because she was running in a high school track meet. Tiny little freshman Anna is one of the fastest kids on the team. She's amazing!
Dan sent me some lovely flowers, audible: ahhhhh, how cute

So, We're kinda boring

It's been awhile... but there hasn't been anything going on! Dan has been at basic and I've just been going to school. But he finally graduated and I got to make a nice little trip to the strange land of South Carolina. It was so good to see each other for a few days. But now he's at Fort Huachuaca in Arizona and our a-traditional marriage continues. Im excited to be leaving to Jordan in April. Hopefully I'll get to go down and visit him at least once before I leave on my grand adventure. Here's some pics from South Carolina. There are none of us together being that I wasn't bright enough to ask someone to take one haha :)

I LOVE LOS ANGELES

For a last hurrah before Dan left to Basic we decided to go for a trip together. We went to Dan's mission, Los Angeles California. I LOVED IT THERE. It was somewhat eventful going to the temple right after Proposition 8 passed, but still awesome. The LA temple is HUGE and gorgeous. We went to Disneyland, always fun. Visited the Santa Monica Pier, San Pedro Harbor, ate Pinkberry at Koreatown, and did countless other rad things. We went to church at this huge Mormon Church that looks like a cathedral! It was so fun, i would love to go to grad school at USC and live there. Dan's not so sure... Something about almost dying on mission a couple times or something :)

To be back in Mexico...

It is really cold here in Provo. And sunshine deficient. I really wish we could go back to Cabo where we went on our honeymoon. We had a blast scuba diving for 3 days and eating delicious mexican food and pastries the rest of the time! We saw some amazing things on our dives, my favorite being the seal who barked at us underwater. My second favorite thing being the dive shop dogs who barked at us above water... 

1st Blog Entry Ever

I totally do not know how to run this blog business. But Im going to try it. I love to read other people's blogs, so I thought I would would make one - even if Im the only one to read it.  The only thing quite worthy to report is that we got married. August 22nd in the St. George Temple me and Dan became legit - husband and wife. Here are some of our Bridal Pictures. Our photographer was Nick Adams and we loved him. However, we've been married just about 2 months now and still havent gotten the pictures from our wedding day yet.... Oh well, hopefully soon!
